The Angkor Photography Festival is back for its 5th year from Nov 22 – Nov 28 in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Details of the festival will be up on their website soon but applications for the workshop are now open till August. However, you need to be below 28 (born after Oct 1980), work as a freelance/staff photographer, or enrolled in a photography course in Asia. More details can be found here. Maybe I should finally get myself there this time round!
Edited (15 Jun 09): Apparently there won’t be the festival this year but only the workshops. A pity, really!

Hello,
I would like to correct this post, there will be only free photo workshops in next November in Siem Reap, no festival for this year unfortunately.
You can find informations about the workshops on the website http://www.photographyforchange.net really soon.
Regards,
Camille.
Thanks Plante, I have made the necessary changes. Hope the workshops are successful this year!
A close group of friends from Singapore go to Cambodia on a yearly basis to work with different groups of help organisations. As photographers themselves, their images tell a compelling story about the lives of street children. I think that with more people providing such services to assist and work along with the locals, photography will bring about more awarness to the lifes of these people.
